Re: Window frame - what type of glue should I use to repair?

If that is a double pane window with any type of Low-E or argon type gas feature, you should consider replacing the pane. The integrity of that window's energy saving features is most likely compromised.

I had some old, Anderson double-paned window where the frame started separating from the window. I ended up using a large vice to squeeze it back together and used a 3" screw to seal it back together. It worked well. This year, I had all the windows in my home replaced and the screw was still hanging tough. Not sure if that's an option in your case.

Why would you think the integrity of the double pane is compromised because the frame has separated?

My exact thought. Maybe a visual is needed?

Sealed unit without the frame

I'm going by what happened with my window. The pictures aren't clear enough to see if there is a breach or not. If it's just a covering that's come loose, then no big deal.
